From Iris to Nitro to Nintendo DS, the dual-screened "developer system" went through hell and high drop tests before becoming what it's known as today — the predecessor to the 3DS. »9/29/14 11:00am 9/29/14 11:00am

Ever wondered how those classic Nintendo DS games that were not entirely 2D would look in HD, upscaled to 720p?

Three Pokémon: Latias, Latios and Kyogre, as modern aircrafts? That makes the Kalos Region Air Force a truly legendary one. DeviantART artist Dekus' piece is odd, but it's totally awesome. And something like this would be a great mod in any flight sim out there. »2/18/14 8:30am 2/18/14 8:30am

There can never be enough Chrono Trigger fan-art, and it's always refreshing to see something new out there. Here's three fantastic paintings, with three memorable moments recreated from the classic JRPG, made by artist Orioto. You can also buy these as prints here. »1/17/14 8:30am 1/17/14 8:30am

In America, we're 12 days into our government shutdown, and apparently everyone is cool doing without frilly things like benefits to military survivors or food inspections, because assigning blame for this stupid temper tantrum is terribly uncivil. But we draw the line when it affects our right to bear Pokémon, right?! »10/12/13 5:30pm 10/12/13 5:30pm

Portal on the DS: Aperture Science, the homebrewed version of Portal for the DS shown off back in February, now has a "mostly playable" version. You'll need a flash cart to play it, but the file can be found here.»8/25/13 6:30pm 8/25/13 6:30pm

There's a little dead pixel on the top of my DS Lite. It hangs out on the bottom of the screen, green and dull, stamping every game like an eye floater that just won't go away. »4/25/13 4:30pm 4/25/13 4:30pm

Man, I didn't realize today was going to be Tina-posting-about-Adventure Time day when I got into the office. If I knew I would have brought in a bunch of candy to eat ferociously while pretending I was eating citizens of the Candy Kingdom. (Cause why not? I don't know why!) »10/18/12 2:45pm 10/18/12 2:45pm

Here are a set of new commercials for Pokémon Black And White 2, the latest games in Nintendo's popular monster-catching series.

The Federal Aviation Administration has for years been the enemy of gamers, with its weird rules that electronic devices had to be shut down during take-off and landing, despite a complete lack of evidence they do anything of the sort. »8/30/12 12:00am 8/30/12 12:00am

Mother's Day is this weekend, and so the commercials for flowers and jewelry and Hallmark cards are incessant and overwhelming. But this year, for a gift, I did exactly what I did last May: I went to Amazon and I ordered my mom a new video game. »5/11/12 1:00pm 5/11/12 1:00pm

Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition is no doubt one of the strangest crossovers we've ever seen. This is not only because it's crossing a feudal Japanese war strategy game with Pokémon, but also because all the characters in Nobunaga's Ambition are based on real people. So let's take a look and see how these real… »3/20/12 6:30am 3/20/12 6:30am
